Day 22 - Chaplin to Moose Jaw

Hello Again,

Well we've now been on the road for three weeks and are both a little home sick and having fantasies of renting a car and driving home or hopping on one of the greyhound buses we see everyday. Anyways, neither of us slept too well last night between the rain storm that started in the middle of the night, several loud trains, and coyotes howling. Oh, and Patricia was awoken a few times by cows moo-ing. We made sandwiches for  breakfast and the day, packed up, and were soon on the road. Oh, and on the way out of the campsite we saw some fresh prints in the mud - our best guess was that it was from one of the coyotes we heard last night.

Today the wind had finally died down, it was still a head wind but it was quite gentle so it wasn't too much of a nuisance. Patricia spotted what we believe was a coyote after about an hour on the road. It stopped and stared at us for a bit but once we started digging for the camera it trotted away and below is the best shot we could get of it.


Sandwich break!
The skies today were scaring us a little bit. There were cloudy blue skies all around us but above us there was a huge clump of grey clouds. The most it did was give us a tiny misting and that was it.

Exciting scenery!
We eventually made it to Moose Jaw and biked around the town for a little while and finally decided to get a motel for the night.
We checked in and settled in. We then went to an attraction called the tunnels of moose jaw. It was pretty neat but was nothing like what we were expecting. We expected a tour of some cool underground tunnels but, it was a couple actors taking us through well decorated rooms and putting on a show. After that we went to a chinese food buffet - a decision we both regretted after since the food didn't sit to well.

That was about it for today,

Chris and Patricia.
